What is Tuta?

Tuta, formerly Tutanota, is an encrypted email and calendar service based in Germany. Mail, contacts and calendar entries are end-to-end encrypted, the apps are open source, and the free plan includes one address and 1 GB of storage, with paid plans adding custom domains and more space.

Pros: what Tuta does well

  • Strong end-to-end encryption
  • Email and calendar together
  • Open-source apps everywhere

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free plan has 1 GB and one address
  • No IMAP for desktop mail clients

Who Tuta is for

People who want private email and a calendar without handing their data to advertisers.

Who can skip it

Anyone who relies on IMAP clients or deep Google Workspace integrations.
